1,1-Bis(methylthio)-2-nitroethylene → HCID 70546016, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-[(2-furanylmethyl)thio]-2-nitroethenamine (3.14 g.) and 1,1-bis-(methylthio)-2-nitroethene (13.2 g.) in dioxan (100 ml.) was heated at 100° for 11/2 hours. The solution was evaporated in vacuo and the residue suspended in warm ethyl acetate (70 ml.). The cooled suspension was filtered and the filtrate evaporated in vacuo. The oily residue was suspended in ether and the solid which separated was filtered and crystallised from ethanol to give the title compound (2.17 g.), m.p. 68°-70°.
